"Those who download the torrent version of the game aren't going to bother downloading the demo version because they don't need it"
you are assuming someone who is capable of and willing to use the torrented version of the game will not download a demo first. especially with a non-mainstream game, it wouldn't occur to me to check for a torrent of the game straight off the bat. I don't think you can assume that noone who downloaded a torrent and would have paid had not downloaded the demo first.
of course, I don't _know_ that. neither do you. as the OP said, nothing you can make of the data can be anything more than speculation
Equally dubious denial of correlation
